F400-certified smoke evacuation solutions for cold rooms

Cold rooms require dedicated safety systems capable of ensuring efficient smoke exhaust in the event of a fire without compromising airtightness or the normal operation of the installation.

Maintaining fire safety in this type of installation requires a system capable of efficiently exhausting smoke without causing thermal losses that could affect the performance and energy efficiency of the cold room.

To meet these requirements, SODECA offers its FRIDGE/FLAP solutions for cold rooms, consisting of an extract fan for smoke exhaust and a motorised damper, both F400 certified to operate together.

Efficient and safe solutions for cold rooms

FRIDGE/FLAP solutions have been specifically developed for use in cold rooms, offering safety, efficiency and regulatory compliance in a single tested and certified system.

The motorised damper remains closed during the normal operation of the cold room and opens automatically when the smoke exhaust system is activated, ensuring thermal insulation.

It is also equipped with an actuator offering an operational reliability of more than 20,000 cycles, providing a 30-second opening and closing time and reliable operation even under the most demanding conditions.

The motorised dampers included in SODECA's FRIDGE/FLAP solutions incorporate an intelligent closing system that guarantees maximum safety during every opening and closing cycle, ensuring safe and reliable operation in the event of any obstacle or external overload.

The extract fan ensures the correct exhaust of smoke and hot gases, helping to ensure the safety of both people and the installation.

In addition, both the motorised damper and the smoke exhaust system have been tested and are F400 certified for smoke exhaust in accordance with EN 12101-3.

High performance in airtightness and insulation

FRIDGE/FLAP solutions ensure reliable operation in cold rooms and freezers down to −28 °C. They incorporate an acoustically insulated casing that acts as a barrier against interior and exterior noise, together with a highly airtight motorised damper incorporating a thermal break and an anti-freezing heating element.

Likewise, these solutions incorporate cutting-edge materials that provide high-performance insulation and airtightness to prevent temperature losses from inside the cold room and improve energy efficiency by minimising energy losses and optimising system performance.

A solution that combines safety and efficiency

SODECA's FRIDGE/FLAP solutions reflect the company's commitment to developing dedicated systems for demanding applications, combining fire safety, high-performance thermal insulation and airtightness with reliable operation tailored to the specific requirements of cold rooms.
